Hey Nor Cal Peeps!

I just got back from my friend's house, and we just installed the following on my car:

1. DC Sports Shorty Header
2. DC Sports Rear Lower Tie Bar
3. DC Sports Battery Tie
4. DC Sports Oil Cap
5. Spoon Sports Front Upper Strut Bar
6. K&N Typhoon Intake

We were about to install the OEM Titanium Interior Trim Kit, but we got tired and he has to work at 5:30am. As you can see, I'm a DC Sports *****!

Yeah, I'm so happy now. Man, the mods make a huge difference. I will post pics soon of the installs. Thanks for letting me share my joy and passion of modding!

Sweet dude, nice pics. I might totally get flamed for this, but why is the filter pointing at the firewall instead of the other way pointing towards out of the car? Wouldnt it suck more air in if the filter was facing the road like head on?

Hows acceleration with the mods??
I'm basically getting all the cosmetics out of the way before I do any performance mods on my base RSX...

Hows the K&N SRI??

Thanks, Stevo! To tell you the truth, I am really not sure why the filter is facing the firewall. I have seen it there, and in the front by the wheel well for a CAI. I guess it must work though. I feel the difference with the new intake and header. I pull harder on 2nd and 3rd gear.

Looks awsomely clean!

i know the cai faces towards the front of an rsx...but for sri, i think its just cuz of the place of the throttle body? iono.

im not sure, just a guess... but maybe when ur driving, the air under the car travels through their comming from the underbody of the car. probably the bigger gap is near their for air travel.

Thank, mang. What should be my next mod? I was thinking either an exhaust, body kit, springs (drop) and anti-roll kit, or an alarm?

They have the OEM kit there for approximately $915 shipped. It is still expensive though. I just installed my latest mod, the OEM Titanium Trim Kit. I will post pics of it when I can. I should be receiving my next mod later this week.

The intake manifold on the K-series is on the opposite side due to the engine being turned "backwards". With the tranny on the right side (facing the front of the car, sitting on the driver's side), and the filter still sitting at the top of the engine bay, it's pretty much where it should be. An SRI even on an EM2 would have the filter sit closer to the firewall, right above the transmission. It won't suck in as much cool air as an CAI however, the SRI does have better throttle responsive given the length of the intake as it takes a shorter time for air to reach the throttle body.

Yeah, the design is different for the CAI and it has it be. If it was to go down the opposite way (which it can't anyway) then the filter would probably be sitting somewhere near the front sway bar/cat converter. Wouldn't be much of a CAI if it did that.

Man I've got a great job, but with car payment, insurance, and other expenses, it all adds up...

Good for you though! Can't wait to see what type of kit you end up putting on.

Hello! I just got this in the mail today. A friend and I attempted to install it, but the two of the three screws that attach the B-pipe to the Cat were stripped since Acura decided to torque them beyond measure. Well, now my car is at my friend's house and I am not able to drive it! I am going to go to Acura later today and see if I can buy those two screws.

However, I did end up taking pictures of my new exhaust system, The DC Sports Single Canister Exhaust System, part #SCS8011. Here are the pics. The pics of the other installed mod will come at a later time. Enjoy!
